UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot for NEK7 Gene

Protein kinase which plays an important role in mitotic cell cycle progression. Required for microtubule nucleation activity of the centrosome, robust mitotic spindle formation and cytokinesis. Phosphorylates RPS6KB1.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot:

Displays an autoinhibited conformation: Tyr-97 side chain points into the active site, interacts with the activation loop, and blocks the alphaC helix. The autoinhibitory conformation is released upon binding with NEK9.

The NTE (N-terminal extension) motif is a structural component of the catalytic domain and thus contributes to activity.
